Description
What if classroom rules and tools could spark learner agency? This presentation explores a combination of classroom management system in order to bolster motivation, engagement, and autonomy among young EFL learners aged 10 to 12.
By using BeeClass to reward positive behaviors, check attendance and platforms like Bamboozle and Wordwall to enhance interaction and reinforce practice through previous teaching experiences, learners gradually transform from passive participants to active decision-makers. In addition, establishing specific and concise classroom rules, such as “Be quiet,” “Be nice,” “Listen,” “Raise your hands,” “Speak English”, are not only friendly reminders, but they also become the foundation for a learner-centered environment where students take charge of how they interact, participate, and develop their L2.
Thus, blending routines and technological tools into lessons for sustainability can bring about significant changes in learners’ confidence, communication, and classroom culture. It is genuinely obvious that the ultimate goal is to help students in both following directions and thriving their positive mindset for readiness and self-directedness in a global language learning setting.
Biography
I am currently working as an English teacher at a private language center in my hometown, where I take responsibility in tailoring lesson plans and delivering lessons for both online and offline classes. With almost six years of experience in English language teaching, I have primarily worked with young learners that they need to concentrate on communication skills, emotional regulation, and learner autonomy. My expertise highlights fostering motivation and engagement through student-centered approaches and the integration of life values into language learning.
Although my educational background was in Environmental Management from Ho Chi Minh University of Technology, volunteer work in primary schools as a student helped me have access to different children to realize the transformative power of education. Therefore, I made a decision to pursue ELT with a commitment to sustainability, comprising of developing long-term thinking, independence, and positive mindsets in learners.
As a teacher, I am passionate about supporting students to become active, reflective participants in their own learning. My current work also involves curriculum adaptation to enhance learner agency and promote inclusive practices that align with global readiness and sustainable development goals.
